Loss of tibialis posterior function is problematic, since transfer of the tibialis posterior tendon is arguably the best reconstructive option for foot drop, when available. Analysis of preoperative imaging studies correlated with operative findings and showed that the injuries, while predominantly to the common peroneal nerve, also affected the lateral portion of the tibial nerve\/division near the sciatic nerve bifurcation. Sunderland\u2019s fascicular topographic maps demonstrate the localization of the fascicular bundle subserving the tibialis posterior to the area that corresponds to the injury. This has clinical significance in predicting injury patterns and potentially for treatment of these injuries. The lateral fibers of the tibial division\/nerve may be vulnerable with long stretch injuries. Due to the importance of tibialis posterior function, it may be important to perform internal neurolysis of the tibial division\/nerve in order to facilitate nerve action potential testing of these fascicles, ultimately performing split nerve graft repair when nerve action potentials are absent in this important portion of the tibial nerve.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2018.8.jns181190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,27]],"date-time":"2019-02-27T00:14:56Z","timestamp":1551226496000},"page":"1869-1875","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The anatomic location and importance of the tibialis posterior fascicular bundle at the sciatic nerve bifurcation: report of 3 cases"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"131","author":[{"given":"Thomas J.","family":"Wilson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Stanford University, Stanford, California;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andres A.","family":"Maldonado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"},{"name":"Department of Plastic, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery, BG Unfallklinik, Frankfurt, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kimberly K.","family":"Amrami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katrina N.","family":"Glazebrook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael R.","family":"Moynagh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert J.","family":"Spinner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1133","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-016-2808-2","article-title":"Surgical outcome of foot drop caused by common peroneal nerve injuries; is the glass half full or half empty?","volume":"158","author":"Emamhadi M","year":"2016","unstructured":"Emamhadi M, Bakhshayesh B, Andalib S: Surgical outcome of foot drop caused by common peroneal nerve injuries; is the glass half full or half empty?
